the line between single and triple disc
heya,
So I feel like im on the line between a good single disc converter and a triple disc. Current truck setup is in the sig, plan on going up to a HE351cw with billet wheel (OE inducer/exducer size), 181 delivery valves, in-tank 100gph/43psi pump, and DAP 7x.011 or 7x.012 injectors after transmission build. Truck is a daily driver/single car trailer hauler and may be getting a sizeable (~36ft) goose neck eventually. Goals are to make the transmission/converter combo strong enough to accelerate at WOT without worry towing said car trailer or gooseneck with a couple cars/small-medium tractor wile maintaining mileage and longevity. Also wondering if i really need to go to a billet input shaft, the truck is a 2wd and pretty mild compared to some peoples buildups. I like the sonnax smart-tech input for the added clutch capacity. Thinking that if want to do WOT lockup shift 3-4 for highway on ramps towing I should go upgraded input |
oops my mistake, was thinking .024 dvs, not 181s
|
Go triple, and a good input.
|
Ahahaha! Broken input coming right up.

its also just a two wheel drive and one tire fire, it spins now on the tar snakes if im towing and the road is wet. |
I’m saying your driving habits, won’t result in a happy transmission.
You can’t expect one to live with WOT locked shifts while towing. Let’s be real. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

I've had 2 2WD both with Billet inputs I couldn't imagine not having a billet, especially after snapping one under the same pulls you're talking about.....A Stock wouldn't have lasted 100 Miles. |
Also as Jeff and Phil stated, That’s your only option.

A Stock input is borrowed time....But hey it's your money and time.

I never go WOT in the truck for fear of ballooning the converter and destroying the crank thrust bearing out of lockup (lockup wont hold anyway). Main reason i leave it locked is to keep the clutch settled in the converter so it doesn't have to try and disperse the fluid again from the clutch lining. |

Yeah LOL that's a problem.
I see in your sig that the transmission is dying too. Might want to start checking couch cushions and vending machine change returns too. I'll tell you this, I did a lot of stuff to my 2003 2WD, but the best money I ever spend was on the transmission and converter. |
I always suggest erring on the performance side. In other words go bigger than you think you need in transmission and torque convertor build to hold your existing and future power...

Do your thing. I'm just speaking from experience because you asked. Lets put your skills at milking the life from your transmission aside. If you pull the transmission, do it right. 4000.00 should get you a good trans and converter, and maybe enough to get a decent flex-plate. |

Do a 1 piece billet input shaft as well. Buy once, cry once. |

Triple disc, billet input and intermediate shafts at the least.
The best performance mod you can do to a Cummins is TC/Trans, night and day difference |
